Will China beat the world to nuclear fusion and clean energy? - BBC News
In a world with an ever-increasing demand for electricity and a deteriorating environment, Chinese scientists are leading the charge to develop what some see as the holy grail of energy.
The BBC's Stephen McDonell was given rare access to their facility in Anhui province.
Imagine limitless energy with virtually no waste at all: this is the lofty promise of nuclear fusion.
=============================================================
The Chinese have been increasingly holding the fusion reaction for longer periods of time, now 100 seconds. They are now working to maintain the fusion reaction for 1,000 seconds at 100M deg C.
